Strange in a stranger land.

"Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos" sorry @LanceUlanoff but this is not the "cardinal rule of social media". This the cardinal rule of walled gardens build to grow the product (the users) in order to sell them to advertisers. http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/

@indecisivetwat Same. I gave up trying to do the reverse engineering years ago. Now if someone doesn't get it, I usually respond with JFGI.

I've been told by a lot of people it's a low level Autism Spectrum Disorder thing, but I'm functional and can (sort of) interact socially, so can't see the point fretting about it.

Being mostly right without apparently doing the work annoys others, but that's their problem.

@micahflee Makes sense because Xen can't control the PV parts, but need hugely more horsepower to virtualise all the way through, Intel and AMD would love the idea.
@Grimericano Also try watching the different timelines,. Your home TL is just the people you follow, the local TL is everyone on your instance, the federated TL is the local plus threads from any other instances that anyone on your local instance follows.
@Grimericano Everything is in flux at the moment, the patterns are being rewritten right in front of you, enjoy the ride.

@Grimericano Yup, a name is specific to an instamce, to toot to another instance you have to include the instance name, like an email.

Follow a few admins for a while if you want your own instance, it's not outrageously hard for a competent programmer, but not to be undertaken lightly.

Try looking for an instance that matches your mindset, generally.

Maybe try searching a few hashtags and see what happens.

@[email protected] Yup, it took me a while to figure out that unicode defines the concept of the shape in black and white and each vendor adds colour to the render to match their own view of how the world should look, so the inferred personality of an emoji varies by platform. Anarchy rules.
@[email protected] I prefer the double entendre of the unicode emoji ❎
Hell burns hottest for those who in time of crisis record video in portrait mode.

You say its your birthday
